PITA BREAD
2 1/2 c Warm water
1 t Sugar
3 1/2 t Active dry yeast
1/2 t Salt
5 1/2 c Whole wheat flour
Place water and sugar in large bowl and stir, add yeast and stir
slightly, let rest for 5 minutes. Mix in salt and flour gradually,
starting with 3 1/2 cups flour then adding the rest (use enough flour to prevent dough from clinging to bowl). Knead well for 5 minutes. Place a little oil on top to prevent crusting. Cover with plastic, then a cotton towel, and allow to rest for 1/2 an hour.
Set oven at 500F. Divide dough into 8 balls, roll out each ball
into 1/4-inch thickness, let rest (covered) for 20 minutes on
floured surface. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet for 5-8 minutes or until lightly browned. Make sure there are no creases in the dough and the pitas are lying flat on the cooking sheet. Makes 8 |
